Have acquired the hardware for 5:1 internal outhaul - see link below.

http://www.harken.com/rigtips/outhaul.php

Using wire from sail clew to aft block and from forward block to vang thru-bolt. Have calculated a minimum of 33' of line (assuming blocks will be an average of 2' apart) bringing it forward, down the mast and back to the cockpit. Line will originate spliced to fiddle block becket.

I'm estimating 40' overall. Yes, easy calc but does anyone see a major flaw with my estimate?

Seems to leave plenty of reserve for errors, which is better than buying another length of line when it turns up short.
